SOMI- The end, I like getting Guybrush blown around Malee Island for a bit before I melt Le Chuck with the root beer

MI2- Guybrush the dog 'she named her dog Guybrush?!' Just reminds me of Indy 'we named the dog Indiana'

wow, I remember Kings Quest 5, it was actually the first adventure I ever played, I played it when I was like 12 when I got it in some 5 foot 10 pack of CD games for christmas. I used to remember thinking that I had to get past the desert to continue so I'd keep wandering and wandering in the desert until I'd die or get bitten by a scorpion. And then I'd think, "Wow, I must not have walked fast enough." And I always hated that stupid owl cause I never knew my computer could talk and if it could it shouldn't sound like that. I also remember my first time dying in KQ5, I went into some house and someone locked me in the basement, and I'm sitting there thinking what the *#@$?!

I got KQ6 in a similar CD pack like JiveMonkey. The sense dwarfs were cool. And the labyrinths were tough. But I always liked that hole-in-the-wall creature.

No, you really don't. Because by the time you reach 40, those "mellons" will have become saggy and unattractive. Gimme small, pert boobs, anyday.

Here's a good rule of thumb for you ladies: Take a pencil and place it, horizontally underneath your breast (doesn't matter which one). Then raise your arms over your head. If the pencil falls, you'll be fine for another 5 years...if it is still in place, you're in trouble... and should start doing some pectoral exercizes.

No, this has nothing to do with lucasArts games, but you started it.

King's Quest Games aren't lucasArt games either, but they are great. KQ #s 4-7 are still some of my favorites.

That's a good one, Endy.

I hope no one has mentioned Lola's death scene in Grim Fandango. I thought that one was very memorable and dramatic. One of a few salient serious moments in the whole set of LEC adventures, along with the scene that Sarah mentioned earlier.

I think I need to go get a pencil, I'll be back in a jiffy :p

OK- I'm gonna have saggy boobs :p Happy now? You can all make fun of me :D Actually... wait I forgot to lift my arms up, hmmmmm I did it twice, once the pencil fell the other time it stayed in place? I guess that means they're gonna be kinda saggy? I don't know? Do you really need to know all this anyway? :p

Sam n Max still is one of my favourites and one of my favourite moments in that game was in Conroy Bumpus' house. When you looked at a painting all the animals on the walls start singing an 'edutainment' song. :D

Take heart Yoha, Natty, and the rest of you ladies. If you took me seriously and are worried, you ladies can always perform certain exercizes to firm up. We, men can't do anything to add ...erm... length. :(

It doesn't suprise me that the women here can joke about this, while the men have been noticably quiet. The men are all: "Erm...could we get back to the subject please?" It's been my observation that women are braver than men in almost all things.

It's no accident that Elaine was written as a mightier pirate than Guybrush. In life, women are stronger-willed and they merely allow the men to think they're the ones in charge.

We stumble through life, guys ...and women pick up the pieces of our mess. From your mothers to your lovers ...thank goodness for women. :)

I'd like to take this moment to annoy everyone with my pickyness, the dialogue actually runs

SAM: Percent sign, ampersand, dollar sign
MAX: and colon, semi-colon too!
METAL BENDING GUY: What the ***** are you doing?
SAM: swearing in long-hand, asterisk mouth

My fav Moment is in CMI when you mix the drink for the first time and fake your death.

"Game Over"

"you scored 0 out 800 points"

guybrush "Stop it guys I'm not really dead"

and then in the cript:

"Sounds, From the dead, the dead that surround me. They must know my secret... Wait a sec I have no screcret"

Totally... I LOVE that part. The music is so cheesy, it's hilarious.

The favorite (or at least the most atmospheric) moment must be from the opening scenes of The Dig, when the sun comes into view from behind the asteroid, Low says "May all your prayers be with us" and Michael's stunning music goes crescendo. I get shivers from that part every time. *thinks about it* *shivers*

Another great one is in Grim Fandango: the transition movie between the first and the second year, when the camera first tracks up the restaurant tower, stops in the sky and then tracks back to the casino with excellent cinematic scoring from Peter is a true winner. (And the best cutscene in the game, IMHO.)

Ok, I got another fave moment, I know most of ya think it's corny as anything... but in The DIG when Maggie Robbins comes back at the end, with that smile on her face... awww man, I was so happy! *sniff*

And I think someone already mentiond the Plunder Bunny scene from MI1.. which you don't always get to see.. true classic!

What is up with that really sketchy scene in GF where Manny goes off with glottis to the scene of the contamination in the diner in the beginning? I remember it being all sketchy and Picasso-like but then they never did that again for the rest of the game....just doesn't really make sense from my recollection.

MI1: The machine
MI2: Pumping the monkey
MI3: Listening to Mr. Fossey speak
MI4: Monkey Kombat
MM: Solving the Ted puzzle
DOTT: Freezing the hamster
Indy3: The crypts
Indy4: Playing with the flashlight
Indy/IM: The dialog box asking me if I'm sure I want to quit
FT: That cool part just after the iMuse setup, but right before the end credits.
GF: Year 2
S&M: Electrocuting Max

BTW, I tried that pencil trick and my man-boobs could hold two pencils, three pens, computer mouse, five sheets of paper, and a turkey leg. Guess this means I need to play less video games, eh?

Just kidding. I have no man-boobs - just wanted to make the girls feel better. (I am happily married, so that is *NOT* a pickup line.)

That site is rather out of date, mind - the latest CVS tree has pretty much full support for DOTT, MI1 and MI2 (cd versions only) and fairly complete support for S&M. The Dig is the latest work in progress, you may have more luck than some. ScummVM makes it possible to play your old lucasarts scumm games under Linux, BeOS, Windows 9x/2000/XP and even on your iPaq PocketPC (forgotten the link to that one tho).

Latest builds can be found here: http://scummvm.sourceforge.net/daily/)

Note when downloading the windows builds - change the extension from .gz to .exe - they arn't REALLY gzipped..

[Edit: Actually, I just discovered the latest builds have music turned off. I'll get that fixed ASAP; if it doesn't work today, try tommorow :]

My all-time favorite moment is in Monkey Island 2 when you put the rat in the vichyssoise and have the bartender go ask the cook about it. The dialogue is just hilarious after you hear the barkeep take a sip and the little rat starts squeeking. "OH MY GOD" followed by, "you're fired" and "look at all the hair! And what's this stuff!? I'll never get rid of this junk." And then he comes back out of the kitchen, places the bowl on the bar, and tells Guybrush, "here ya go."
